I’ve legitimately never heard polyglot used to mean “speaks two languages”, I thought it meant “speaks three or more languages.” I can understand it being useful to have a specific term for people raised with two languages from birth/very early childhood though.
For me, hourly movement reminders and medication reminders without having to constantly keep my phone in my pocket has been a godsend. Keeping track of my heart rate (especially while asleep) has also been great for being more aware of when my PTSD symptoms are acting up. I’m also never going back to a sound based alarm instead of a vibrating one, no idea if regular watches have that now too or not.
Not sure I’d consider things like the ability to make your character trans a symptom of anything other than the game being made in the 21st century.
If the game is dog shit the people crying about it being woke will still be the idiots. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Tuning into CSPAN like people tune in to NASCAR races to see if anyone’s going to die.
Lizardman constant strikes again.
“Democrats were fooled by their social media echo chamber” is an interesting way to spell “an inherently anti-democratic institution set up to make some voters worth more than others elected the candidate with fewer votes.”
I’ve only taken an ASL class at the high school level, but facial expression is an important part of signing and adds tone to what you’re saying, so that by itself isn’t really a red flag. He seems to be moving quickly through specific signs rather than just sort of flailing around like fake translators usually do. I can’t understand any of it, but if I had to guess I’d say he’s probably a real translator.
Do you think that if the prosecution made a secret deal with the witness, a deal that the jury didn’t know about, would that make another trial or reexamination of evidence necessary? Because that’s what happened.
And the state Supreme Court refused to stop Owens’ execution last week after Golden, in a sworn statement, said that he had a secret deal with prosecutors that he never told the jury about.
God, I wish Nintendo made the Pokemon games, because then they might actually not be ugly, terribly optimized garbage. Nintendo owns a minority share of The Pokemon Company, which is also owned by Game Freak and a company called Creatures. Each company takes care of different aspects of the franchise. Game Freak still does all the game development, and I wish they wouldn’t because they obviously don’t care about the franchise anymore and haven’t for quite a while.
IME this is largely the stance that the LA Metro buses* take, as long as you’re not causing trouble. A lot of the time I get waved on for the card not reading quick enough (resulting in a free ride), and I’ve literally never seen a driver tell someone to leave because their card won’t scan or they don’t have the money for it.
Which, when you think about it makes sense. The $1.75 or so they’re ‘losing’ from the passenger not paying (the bus will be going that route anyway, regardless of whether they board or not) will be FAR exceeded by the cost of paying a bus driver to sit there with a bus out of commission for however long it takes cops to get there and force someone out, PLUS a literal bus full of now pissed off people who may be missing connections because some bus driver had a stick up his ass. It absolutely doesn’t make sense unless the fare-evader in question is either a chronic problem causer or an immediate threat.
* trains/subways are a different matter, they have cops checking randomly onboard there to fine people
Maybe some crimes should be punishable by public flogging.
Another great one is seitan aka wheat meat, and it’s really cheap if you make it from flour rather than vital wheat gluten. Still pretty cheap if made from vital wheat gluten too.
Open to investigation: no
Open to sucking up your work and personal information: absolutely!
lol, 10 bucks says he heard a car backfire and freaked out.
The people who were shitting blood over how anyone who wants Biden to step down is a Russian agent will unfortunately learn absolutely nothing from these events.
Out of all the types of American political voters that exist (as defined and studied by Pew), the progressive left has the highest voting rate of any group. Including ‘Faith and Flag Conservatives.’
If you’re super worried about criticism from someone further left than you killing support for your candidate, it’s not because leftists don’t show up to vote.
‘Transgendered’ is best left in the 2000s btw.
I wonder if there’s a word for punishing everyone in a group for actions taken by only some members of a group, and if it’s considered ethical?
Lmao, did the AI think the end of Trump’s gun was a burnt out cigarette?
My siblings live in an area affected by Helene, and I thank fucking god the one that works in a warehouse has the Gen Z attitude of “get fucked lol” when it comes to employers.
When the worst of the storm was coming through the stance of county 911 was that if you call they’re not coming unless someone is about to die. And yet some of these companies expect people to risk their lives to show up for $10-15 an hour? It’s insane.
I understand why everyone can’t just tell their employer to go fuck themselves, it’s just a horrible situation if you ever find yourself in the position of having to make the call of, ‘do I lose my job for what may or may not be a genuine emergency?’
